That Caucau try v France was way better than the one featured on this clip.
a) It's against France, not Scotland. (Hastily mumbled apology to any sweaties offended by that).
b) Started from just outside his own 22.
c) In all that distance and with at least 3 players to beat, not a single Frenchman even touched him.

"If you're having a good game as a referee you don't have 30,000 people chanting, 'Joubert's a w*****r'. And at the end of the game he got booed off the field. That would tend to indicate that he didn't have a good game," Kearns said.

No, Kearnsy. That would indicate that 30,000 people got lost on their way to the football stadium.

Really disappointed in Kearns for this. I usually quite enjoy his commentary but this is real tawdry gutter stuff.

It's an interesting point. I would have thought if Joubert wanted to pursue Kearns legally, there's a case here for slander. And ordinarily, unless there is a massive disclaimer in place, the vehicle for slander would share the responsibility.

Then again I'm not a lawyer. I'd be interested to hear a more knowledgeable viewpoint on this...
